Brucellosis in Southeast Asia: A Systematic Review of Epidemiological Evidence, Surveillance Gaps, and cgMLST‐Based Insights Into Genetic Relatedness

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Brucellosis is an important zoonosis affecting public health and livestock production in Southeast Asia, but its regional epidemiology remains incompletely characterized. In this study, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched for primary studies from the 11 Southeast Asian countries that reported serological findings, molecular ...

Diversification and Distribution of Ruminant Chlamydia abortus Clones Assessed by MLST and MLVA

PLOS ONE, 2015
Chlamydia abortus, an obligate intracellular bacterium, is the most common infectious cause of abortion in small ruminants worldwide and has zoonotic potential. We applied multilocus sequence typing (MLST) together with multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) to genotype 94 ruminant C.

The current MLVA typing scheme for Enterococcus faecium is less discriminatory than MLST and PFGE for epidemic-virulent, hospital-adapted clonal types

BMC Microbiology, 2007
Background MLVA (multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis) is a reliable typing technique introduced recently to differentiate also isolates of Enterococcus faecium.

Brucella Strains at the Human–Animal Interface in Benin, Nigeria, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Togo: A Scoping Review

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Brucellosis is a widespread zoonotic disease with significant impacts on both animal health and public health. This scoping review aimed to synthesize the available data on circulating Brucella species and laboratory identification methods in brucellosis research in Benin, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, and Togo. Methods Article selection and

MLVA genotyping of Chinese human Brucella melitensisbiovar 1, 2 and 3 isolates [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2011
Abstract Background Since 1950, Brucella melitensis has been the predominant strain associated with human brucellosis in China. In this study we investigated the genotypic characteristics of B. melitensis isolates from China using a multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) and evaluated the utility

Epidemiological Trends and Strain Distribution of Bovine Brucellosis in Vaccinated Industrial Dairy Cattle (2021–2024)

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Brucellosis remains a significant zoonotic disease in Iran, affecting both public health and livestock productivity despite decades of control efforts. This study presents findings from a four‐year nationwide active surveillance program (2021–2024) targeting industrial dairy cattle herds vaccinated with the Brucella abortus RB51 vaccine.

Atlantic Salmon Alevins Experimentally Exposed to Salmon Gill Poxvirus Become Infected, With the Virus Targeting Epithelial Cells in the Gills, Oral Cavity and Skin

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 48, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Infection with salmon gill poxvirus (SGPV) can cause severe gill pathology, leading to respiratory distress and high mortality rates in salmon hatcheries, known as salmon gill poxvirus disease. While the infection has been documented in salmon at sea, broodfish and wild salmon, its occurrence in salmon alevins remains unreported.

Using MLVA to type strains of Salmonella Typhimurium in New South Wales [PDF]

New South Wales Public Health Bulletin, 2008
Summary: Phage typing has been the traditional strain typing (or ‘fingerprinting’) method used in Australia for surveillance of common salmonella serovars (such as Salmonella Typhimurium) and outbreak investigations. The need for more accessible, discriminatory and objective methods has been recognised but, until now, none has been widely accepted ...

Application and evaluation of the MLVA typing assay for the Brucella abortus strains isolated in Korea [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2009
A Brucella eradication program has been executed in Korea. To effectively prevent and control brucellosis, a molecular method for genetic identification and epidemiological trace-back must be established. As part of that, the MLVA typing assay was evaluated and applied to B.

Brucellosis in Marine Mammals: Meta‐Analysis of Prevalence, Infection Patterns, Host Specificity and Zoonotic Potential

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Marine brucellosis shows high prevalence in cetaceans (52%), followed by other marine mammals (30%) and pinnipeds (18%), indicating species‐specific susceptibility. These findings highlight the need for targeted surveillance and diagnostic strategies to mitigate ecological and zoonotic risks.
